“Star Food” features many everyday events. It sometimes shows scenes where Dade helps his father run the grocery store. The author describes Dade’s occasional thoughts on the roof of the grocery store. His ventures on the roof to stare at clouds suggest that he doesn’t have an aim in life.
The author of “Everything That Rises Must Converge” also uses everyday scenes in her story. Julian’s mother conversation on the bus with a fellow passenger showed the racism that still lingered in society. Her simple act of giving the small boy a penny also showed her ignorance to blacks’ independence.
